There are fat peopled in Africa... Omg. Some people need to realize it's a damn continent with a lot of diversity. We don't all live in huts and get eaten by lions. I don't run with the gazelle, or walk among the giraffe and zebra while they feed at the hippopotamus hole.

You people are full of shit. People that barely eat are not fat. I wonder why there are no fat people in Africa then??

That's actually really bad for your metabolism.

I eat one meal a day, less than 600 calories. I go 4 to 8 days a month without eating at all. I'm still a fat ass. Some people metabolize differently.

My best friend is overweight (more so now after having to be on staroids for her blood disorder) but when she lived with us, she would only eat once a day. Her meals were usually unhealthy. She usually ate under 2,000 calories, but more fat content then she probably needed to. When she started eating three meals a day, she started to loose weight.

ANYWAY, I do not think that overweight people eat a lot, I think they just have unhealthy habits. Be it eating only once, eating too much, eating crap, ect.

This is true and this is also a reason why some overweight/obese people hold onto the weight. If you do not eat enough calories to sustain your basic needs (and 1100 calories isn't enough for someone who is overweight), you will hold onto that weight. This is very common with people that are overweight.
